Even from first glance, it is apparent that our Home of the Week has been well-loved and maintained. This home is stunning from the outside. Set back from the quiet Freetown side street, tall pines provide further privacy before opening onto a lush green front yard.

A long driveway runs from the street to the two-car garage at the side of the home, providing ample parking. From here, a professionally landscape-lined walkway leads to a set of stone stairs.

"The homeowner is a builder. He wanted the best of everything, a fanatic for quality and perfection," said listing agent Byron Ford of Weichert Realtors, Mel Antonio Group.

The tall ceilings of the two-story entry immediately provide an open, airy feeling to the home. Ford notes the owner's close attention to detail, pointing out the marble flooring that extends from the foyer into the hallway and throughout the kitchen.

Despite these features, the grand curved staircase leading to the second floor is the real showstopper. It is beautiful, but also practical. Set back a few feet from the front door, it does not crowd or impede those entering.

To the right is a formal dining room, which also has an additional entrance across from the kitchen. Its beautiful light wooden floors with a dark wood inlay design add a richness and elegance to the space.

To the left is the formal living room, boasting the same intricate floors as the dining room. Glass French doors open into the family room.

This room is more relaxed, with carpeting, but just as grand. Its cathedral ceilings and skylights flood the room with light. Along one wall is a wood-burning fireplace with gray fieldstone running from floor to ceiling, a true eye catcher.

The great room is open to the large eat-in area, which also opens to the updated kitchen, creating a spacious and flowing living area. The kitchen has cherry cabinets, stainless steel appliances, double ovens, granite counters, and recessed lighting. The set provides functionality and plenty of cabinet and counter space.

A hall beyond the kitchen's second entrance has access to a coat closet and the two-car garage. Beyond this is a comfortable game room with built-in bar, running the width of the home, ideal for unwinding. There is also a door to the house's partially finished basement with a large office, a full bathroom, a laundry area, and walk-up access to the yard.

To access the outdoors not from the basement, French doors open off of the eat-in area, seeing a both a great place for outdoor entertaining.

The multi-level mahogany deck leads down to a sprawling private backyard, again with beautiful landscaping. A koi pond with waterfall feature and shed with kennel are a couple of unique bonus features.

However, it's the vastness, quietness, and majesty of the tall surrounding trees that transforms this yard into a true private sanctuary.

Now onto the second floor, stopping first on the staircase's landing to take in the views below of the great room and eat-in area.

The second floor has two large guest bedrooms both with angled, vaulted ceilings and large closets. There is also a large full bathroom brightened immensely by a skylight.

At the end of the hall is the master, again with cathedral ceilings that make the room even more impressive. There is an attached master bathroom featuring a stand-up shower, double sinks and a sunken spa tub with relaxing views of the backyard.

But the master bedroom has one more surprise, however: a spacious bonus room that would be an ideal office or even a dressing room, large enough to even fit a pool table.

Quality construction, attention to detail and pride of ownership have preserved this Home of the Week's move-in ready condition.
